Hi,
I just updated a windows 2003 sbs server to windows 2003 sp1. I rebooted the server last night and everything seemed fine, tested everything and it was ok. Today I got a call from the user saying that the server is stuck at the initial bootup screen with just a dell logo and the bios A02 screen. No keyboard /f2 funtionality to get into setup or the boot menu. I'm not sure if this is related to the o/s upgrade or not. I don't think so. The one thing I did notice is that the UPS kept kicking onto battery power last night....Please help. I am not onsite yet, but will be calling dell when I get there. Any ideas???Start Free Trial
